This series of sixteen prints depicts landscapes and still lifes of various places on the way to, and at, Enoshima. On Enoshima there is an important shrine to Benten. Her messenger is the snake and therefore Enoshima became a convenient symbol for the year of publication in surimono. In this case the date of publication is likely to be 1833, a snake year.

There are at least two period editions of the prints. The first has the title within a cartouche surmounted by the swastika symbol of the Manji-ren, the group which commissioned the original series. The present print is an example of this series. The second has the same carouche and a seperate and hand-applied seal reading jurokuban tsuzuki "a set of sixteen." Keyes, in The Art of Surimono, Privately Published Japanese Woodblock Prints and Books in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin (London: Philip Wilson Publishers, 1985), p. 514, lists two designs as reproduced in facsimile. One is found in all four facsimile classifications he makes, the other only found in group A copies.

Two others from the set, formerly in the Paul Walter collection, were sold in these Rooms, October 23, 1992, lots 33 and 34.
